Alice

"I don't know what the problem is between you two, but it needs to stop today." Carlisle said, sending a glance at Rosalie and me. "This is a family. We don't behave like petty human families. We treat each other with respect. Rose, stop putting your two cents in on Alice's situation. You are not perfect."

"I have a right to say what I feel." Her face remained expressionless.

"It's not your business so actually no, you don't. So petty."

"No need for name calling Alice. You aren't exempt. Give respect, get respect." Emmett said. I gave him a glare.

"Shut up Emmett. You are always taking her side." He looked mad but shrugged it off.

"Just chill out and squash it. Now!" Carlisle said angrily. Everyone looked at him in surprise. "Apologize."

"Rosalie, I'm sorry for calling names and yelling at you." She scoffed when everyone looked at her for her to say sorry back. Em lightly elbowed her.

"Alice, I'm sorry for taunting you and not minding my business. Now, Luke." Luke's head snapped up and he looked around warily. "Luke, since you have been here, it's been a struggle. You almost ripped our family apart." Luke dropped his head. "But, I like you. I see that good in you, that sense of belonging you want to feel. And honestly I feel like you molded your way into this family and very boldly. So everyone, we will vote on if Luke will continue to stay here. All for Luke to stay, raise your hands." Reneesmee, Emmett, Edward, Bella, and Esme raised their hands. Jasper sat deep in thought before raising his hand, and with him, I rose mine. "Well it is decided. Luke you are family now. Don't make us regret this." Luke's eyes were watery.

"I won't I promise." He ducked his head and coughed. "Allergies." He said. Yeah, because we believed him.

"Meeting adjourned." Everybody stood and filed out the living room.

Luke

After the verdict, I sat in the newly cleaned living room and tried to wipe the tears quickly before anyone saw. I could now say, for really the first time ever, that I had a family. I walked outside and watched the sun disappear into the clouds. I heard someone walk up behind me and when I turned, I saw that it was Alice. I turned to go back inside but she grabbed my arm.

"Five minutes. Please." I reluctantly and angrily sat down in one of the chairs by the house and she took a seat next to me. "Luke, I am so so sorry for that night. I never should have come on to you. I never should have used you like that. I know I hurt you really bad and I never intended to do that. I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?"

"Of course I do. But you lost a lot of trust with me. But I'm glad you did it. I'm completely over you and now I can move on with my life. So in a way, you did well." She frowned a little but shrugged.

"Friends?"

"Friends." And with that she leaned in and hugged me. Things were looking up."

Please R&R. But if you choose to, please don't be rude. If you don't have nothing nice or helpful to say, don't say it. Thanks for reading!
